Getting fed up with how trendy it is to have mental illnesses. Most people who nowadays are just slightly depressed all of a sudden think they should declare they're mentally ill. Not helped by all the do-gooders wanting to fight the stigma of mental illnesses (what stigma???). I have always spoken for personal responsibility (the existentialist in me), don't fall back on thinking you can't help it. Take control. I know how hard it is, but it's true. Also, these people dilute the help for proper "sufferers". I know this is very controversial, and may even seem a bit snobbish (like, ha, I'm proper crazy, you're not crazy enough). But that's the way I feel. And I spent 4 weeks in a mental hospital not long ago, so I know what proper nutcases are like
